The Grand Concert body style is my my most popular guitar for fingerstyle guitarists, but it is also well suited for many
other types of play.

The volume is strong and the tone is well balanced across the
register. Individual melody notes stand out clearly against the harmonies.
The smaller body particularly lends itself to playing while sitting and perhaps writing music. The
Grand Concert is available in two body depths.

As with all
body styles, this guitar is offered as the Minstrel, Madrigal, or
Ave Maria.

The Grand Auditorium

The
Grand Auditorium is a multi use instrument
yet particularly suited for
fingerstyle play.
Slightly larger and deeper than the Grand Concert,
it imparts a pleasing punch with rich tight lows but still allows individual
melody notes to stand out clearly against the harmonies.

As with all
body styles, this guitar is offered as the Minstrel, Madrigal, or
Ave Maria.
